Twins in animal biology is a case of multiple birth in which the mother gives birth to two offspring from the same pregnancy.
Human twins are two individuals who have shared the uterus during a single pregnancy and are usually, but not necessarily, born in close succession. A fetus alone in the womb is called a singleton. Due to the limited size of the mother's womb, multiple pregnancies are much less likely to carry to full term than singleton births, with twin pregnancies usually lasting around 34 to 36 weeks. Since premature births can have health consequences for the babies, twin births are often handled with special precautions.
Twinning is common in many animal species, such as cats, sheep, and ferrets. The incidence of twinning among cattle is about 1-4%, and research is underway to improve the odds of twinning, which can be more profitable for the breeder if complications can be sidestepped or managed.
